God in the Tanakh: “Stop cheating on me with other gods!”
Readers: “Ah, yes, what a brilliant metaphor for idolatry!”
Also the Tanakh: *literally describes women having children with other gods*

Just your occasional reminder that Eternal Damnation is not in the Hebrew Bible. Nothing in the Tanakh is that cruel or unforgiving.

IDK the Hulk has real Richard Dawkins vibes here, I don’t think the Tanakh and the Quran are at the root of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Reminds me of a joke we would say in Yeshiva:
Person A: “As it says in the Tanakh…”
Person B: “The Tanakh? What’s that?”
Person B: “Oh you know, the big book printed around Rashi’s commentary”
Person A: “As it says in the Tanakh…”
Person B: “The Tanakh? What’s that?”

my take on the OU essay girl is that it is once again protestant nonsense. if you tried citing the bible at a Catholic university they’d ask what you were doing reading that and give you an F.

the tanakh is an objectively fascinating set of books from a literary, historiographical and cultural perspective and if you're blind to this you're frankly not even an especially good atheist

What a lot of people call "the Old Testament" is our Bible, the Tanakh: Torah, Prophets (Nevi'im), Writings (Ketuvim). Same material, organized differently.
The God that people call "the OT God" is a Christian creation. Christian-dominated culture posits an angry OT God vs a loving NT God.

The beliefs & culture of the Jewish ppl aren't rooted in an angry, immutable God. In fact, it's solid Jewish theology to believe that God isn't perfect—which is what I believe. We study our Scriptures (Tanakh+Talmud, which is a different discussion) closely bc we* are in relationship with God.
